Facebook celebrated its 10th anniversary last week by launching a feature called "Look Back" videos.

After around 200 million users jumped at the chance to create their own, Facebook is declaring the feature as a success.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer, released the numbers during a question-and-answer session at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference.

In addition to the nearly 200 million users that used the feature, Sandberg said that 50 percent of people that watched their own video, shared it with others.

Facebook Look Back debuted on Feb. 4, as a way for members to relive their history on the social network. The videos were available to all of Facebook's 1.23 billion members who had enough content to pull from.

Those with less content received "thank you" cards.

The Look Back videos were automatically generated from a users profile, using photos through the years and the most "liked" and commented posts.
